77 Things That Describe Why People Love New York City

NYC is unlike any other city in the world, as most anyone can tell you. When it comes to differentiating any one type of person as a "New Yorker," it's apparent that there really are no two people in this city who are the same. People flock to NYC from all over the world and with good reason.

It just makes sense that so many television shows and movies take place here -- there's no better choice. Of course there are things we dislike about our beloved city, but they pale in comparison to the things we love about it.
